  9. Instant Messaging – IM’ing • Instant messaging is “like an email, but live” (NCIS, Season 2, Red Cell). Stream available at: https://media.ivytech.edu/Gallery/Sqrt4qjyRYIGpk0P

  10. Instant Messaging – Why Use It? • Connect with other faculty and staff, in your region and beyond • Help students connect with one another • Better connect with your students by holding regular “office hours” • Focus student communications to times during your “office hours” • Our IM tool has some great additional tools as a part of it – voice, video, and application sharing with more coming soon.

  11. IM – How do I use it at Ivy Tech? • Pronto • Register once • Classes are automatically linked up • Add your Pronto ID to your signature in emails to let others link up with you. • Guide to Pronto is on the Click for Help tab • Check out training from the Center for Instructional Technology

  12. iPods, MP3s, and other media • Make content that students can take with them or use when they want. • Lots of tools can be used to create these things free or for very little cost:
